This article is nonsense; General Norman Schwarzkopf has an I.Q. greater than 170. He certainly didn't have any problems analyzing and dealing with multiple scenarios.

Day alludes to the problem, and it's not intelligence. It's believing the map in your head matches reality outside. Worse, it's thinking you can change reality to match what's in your head. Leftists have always been masters at it. Unfortunately, leftism has infected the current administration (who are 'conservative' in name only), hence the belief they can use war, mass murder, theft and lies to 'remake' foreign societies and remold human nature. As always--as with all leftism--their plans will fail.

. . . articulates exactly why the smartest people can fail . . .

Some know-it-all FReeper recommended an online website to check your IQ a few months ago. LOL. Proving your point, I scored a 167 and nary a one of them neurons has figgered out how to turn my tar-paper shack into a mansion. Or how to sell the Great American Novel I've been writing, editing, and rewriting for 20+ years. Or how to produce the award-winning screenplay I've recently finished (my father said it was okey-doke before he died, that's quite an award to me).

It seems, as I look around me, the successful folks tend to be the ones who actually "do something" while us smarty-pants types only "dream" of doing something.

The most "successful" person I know is a third-grade drop-out who cuts grass for a living. All day, every day. Winter, spring, summer, fall. Seven days a week . . . except from 9-12 on Sunday morning when he goes to church with his wife and children.

Rufus' IQ, if we could measure it but we can't because he can't read, would probably be around eighty or ninety at best. But Rufus has a wife who adores him . . . and he's put eight of his nine valedictorian children through college with his mowing-money. And the ninth child, valedictorians all, graduates in May, 2004.

I can solve the challenges of Rubik's Cube in less than a minute. Rufus wouldn't even try. He's got grass to cut.
